24 and 18 weeks pregnant!

Today I am 18 weeks with my firstborn baby girl and it's my 24th birthday and my dads 65th birthday! I was due on the 21st of December and ended up being born at exactly 41 weeks(on my dads birthday)! I hope I don't have to go until 41 weeks with my baby girl(due May 26th). I'm so impatient! I feel like all mamas hope their babies will come early.

What is you gut feeling on what week your LO (little one) will enter the world?

I am 18 weeks also but I haven’t found out the gender. I’m hoping this baby comes a few days late or early. My due date is the same day as so many family members birthdays!

I feel you! Me sharing the holidays with my birthday and my dad's birthday on top erghh! It's just so much confusion and YES I was furious growing up because my sister ALWAYS got more presents than me on her birthday. For me the xmas+bday present was the same. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! The most important is a happy and healthy baby

ok, so I am going to one-up-you for just a second! First of all, I should say birthdays click in my family. it is super weird and super cool. Example? mom and aunt, 8 years apart, but birthdays are 2 days apart. My mom was born on her grandmother's birthday. My brother and grandmother's birthday are 2 days apart. my father in law and mother have the same birthday. one of my nephew's birthday is 2 days before that.. you get the idea.

so, my sisters and I are triplets and we were born early and born on our biological father's birthday! It would have been a hell of a lot cooler if he had been a good man, but le sigh..., you can't have it all, lol.

My DH, middle son and youngest son and I all have August birthdays. My oldest is in Feb by himself and this one is die May 22. My youngest was 4 weeks early. I have a feeling this one will still be born in May, but early May. we'll see!

Wow. You have it insane girl! How does you family handle all the parties constantly

I’m 21 weeks 5 days and I’m really hoping that my baby won’t be too early this time. My son was born at exactly 27 weeks and it was so scary. This time I’m being monitored but they still told me I have a 15-20% chance of it happening early again (within a couple of weeks either way of 27). My mother is hoping that I will be a little bit early because she’s decided to get married 2 days before my due date and likes the idea of there being ‘another guest there’. I’m just hoping that baby stays in until they are completely ready to come out.

My first arrived at 42 weeks exactly, my water broke two day before that and I was induced 12 hours after it broke. Our second I was induced at 41.1 and she arrived at 41.3. I totally expect to be induced at 41 weeks again but I would be really excited if I went into labor on my own this time right before induction. I don't mind that my babies like to bake a bit extra but I'm not a fan of induction. Pitocin sucks!

Your 8-month-old: Week 3

Your baby's vision - previously about 20/40 at best - is now almost adult-like in its clarity and depth perception. Though your baby's short-range sight is still best, his long-range vision is good enough to recognize people and objects across a room.
